Blessings of Money

God’s desire is to bless you and to bless you abundantly. God has a system, intended to pour out His blessings upon you.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work… Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God. (2 Corinthians 9:8, 10-12 KJV) (the King James version is used here due to its literal translation which is closer to the original meaning)

God has ordained five blessings of money:
1. As seed for the sower
2. To provide bread
3. To multiply the seed that is sown
4. To increase the fruits of our righteousness
5. To give

God’s Principle of Multiplication

• The seed that God multiplies is the seed that has already been sown. He doesn’t multiply the seed that you keep. You have to sow it first, then it is multiplied.
• You only reap what you sow!
• You only reap after you sow!
• You always reap more than you sow!
• God’s kingdom operates through giving and receiving multiplied manifolds!
• God gives us seed for our need. We move into supernatural abundance only when we follow His principle of sowing and reaping.

Purpose for Abundance

• God’s purpose for abundance is not to increase the size of your bank account or the amount of seed that you plant, but He is concerned about the size of your heart!
• God does not need your money. He wants your heart, for that indicates what you treasure.
• As you follow God’s system of sowing and reaping, God’s kingdom expands and you partner with Him by taking the Gospel to the nations.
• Money is not to be hoarded or hidden.
• Plant into good soil.
• Expect a return on the seed that you plant. In fact, plant it with a specific expectation!
• God’s heart is to bless you.
  God’s goal is not merely to meet your need. His goal for you is abundance so you can meet the need of others out of your overflow.
